There's a piece of software out there called JIRA which is for bug tracking has a java applet that allows you to just "paste" a screenshot on a support ticket.
Has anyone ever built a plugin that would work like this for vb?
Basically, instead of having to press "Alt-PrintScreen", then open a graphics editing program, paste the clipboard, save it as a jpg and then use manage attachments on vb to upload the picture, with this applet you just do the "Alt-PrintScreen", then on that web page, click "Paste" and the screenshot is uploaded.
Obviously one could also paste anything that's on the clipboard without the intermediate graphics editor step.
Would be a great addition for support-based vb sites as many non-techy type users have trouble negotiating the graphics software, and it's a pain in the arse for everyone else.
What I'm suggesting is another button as well as "manage attachments" that's called "paste screenshot" or something.
